John Cale from Velvet Underground to exhibit at Venice Biennale

Sounds interesting eh? Think it's always hard to know how well different musicians transcend into the art world, most harbour enough creativity to produce high standards but you wonder if lack of experience in production lessens the level of the work.However from the sounds of it John Cale has held his own. Of course it helps that he's apparently produced an audio-visual artwork, a multi-screened video work with accompanying audio that focuses on his roots in Wales. It sounds like a media-based snippetted autobiography however with a fine art twist to it of course.It covers his classically trained youth in Wales together with his home and homelands surrounding landscape, narrated with it seems beautiful audio.It seems theres a mix of audio from spoken word to song, interesting as he was said to love Dylan Thomas to see any reference there. The review I read said it was a very beautiful piece with great depth, sounds definitely worth a look and worthy of the Biennale, such an audio work has to become enhanced within the beauty and history of artistic Venice.Especially as it will be presented in the old brewery building on Giudecca where the last few Wales exhibits have been shown.
